In my opinion, a "true" REO fan is one who respects and enjoys REO's music through all the stages they've been through, as opposed to those who steadfastly...
I most certainly will! I know that it won't be until mid-April at best, as I have a couple health issues to take care of. That would be cool as both friends...
The "Great Irish Radio Experiment" might amuse you. (In 1985 REO Speedwagon came to Dublin. Tony Allan died in July 2004, only a few months ago. There was an...

Well, a few Starbucks in Chicago might know who he was! His 2 biggest hits (CTFT& KOLY) would have never charted without Gary's powerful guitar turning them...
Is this all classic rock bands can hope for these days? Doing covers of old Beatles classics and calling it their "new" music?? To each his own, but the...
We also can't forget that Kevin's ballads wouldn't have sold squat without Gary's amazing guitarwork turning them from average, run-of- the-mill ballads into...
"Easy Money" is likewise one of my personal favorites, because the imagery is so vivid. Can't you just picture that creepy guy coughing in the cell and the...
Were it not for Amato and Hitt, Kevin would have taken out an ad in the "Musicians Wanted" section of the LA Times and hired some other dudes off the street to...
I no longer need to listen to songs from "Bridge" and "The Earth" because, frankly, I don't consider them true REO songs. They were written by a bunch of...
Here's my answer to "Who Made REO?" In no particular order. Terry, Greg, Neal, Alan, Gary, Mike, Kevin, Bruce, Dave, Bryan. Yeah, I know it's a p.c. response,...

Maybe without KC and some of the songs he wrote, Gary and the rest of the guys would be back in their own hometowns as nothing more then good musicians. As...

Obviously, you've never shopped around for a record deal. The Exec's only want to sign the band's songwriters who they think will write hits. They don't give a...
It wouldn't break my heart if REO didn't tour anymore....I won't go see them again anyway. I've seen REO over 30 times through the years. I was at Kiel Aud...

Nobody has claimed that Styx's cover of "I Am The Walrus" is their "new" music. But they have included the cover in their show, and because it sounded so...
Good point, Jeff. If Gary had kicked Kevin out of the band and brought a lesser vocalist in, the results would have been bad. When the entire band was involved...
